Woolite protocol

[deadaccount]

I bought a bottle of Woolite yesterday and decided to give it a try. So many here seem to love it.



Diluted it 6:1 and put it in a spray bottle. Sprayed it on a clean terry towel and wiped down the dash (it was fairly dirty). Cleaned very well, but I did see some suds as I was wiping/scrubbing. This concerned me that a film would be left on whatever I was cleaning, and this may dry out the material.



My questions are:

1) do I need to followup with a towel damp with clean water to remove any possible film?

2) Besides dash and carpets, what else is the Woolite Wondermix good for?

If you feel it`s not coming off completely wipe it down with a damp cloth.



You can use Woolite on pretty much everything inside the car other than glass. Plastic, vinyl, leather, carpet, etc.

is 6:1 water:woolite, or woolite:water?

[Pats300zx]

yes...6 parts water to one part woolite

ive never had a problem with 6-1 leaving any film, just do a clean wipedown if your unsure.

Works great on my leather seats.

You can cut back to 10:1 if you wish, cleaning ability will be diminished only slightly.

Will this stuff keep if you mix up a whole spray bottle, or do you have to use it right away?

alright I did woolite tonight,and heck yeah it cleans good.

The only problem is,how do you get all the woolite off?I used 6:1 .When I went to take it off with a damp cloth it kept multiplying like the Gremlins did when they hit water.

Must have put to much on :nixweiss I put 5oz of woolite into a 32oz bottle.close enough.

Lawdog-the mixture is very stable. As long as the spray bottle is properly sealed, you can probably use what is in there in a year and it will work fine.



flyinghigh-I use a dry cloth to wipe up the areas I have cleaned. You can follow with another damp then dry cloth if you wish to make sure no residue is left behind.

Ohhhh I knew Id mess it up somehow,Thanks for the tip :D

Thanks guys!



I thought I may need to do a clean water wipe down. I`ll also try adding a little more water to the mix (10:1) and see if that helps. Should probably work just fine as I typically use very diluted SG for the tough stuff.

I know there is a million carpet/fabric cleaning threads out there, but I want to get something straight.

To use woolite on carpets and stains and fabric I will be removing my front seats first. Vacumming everything with a wet dry vac without a filter. Then soaking the woolite/water into the mats first, let it sit for about 15 min and then agitate with a carpet brush and a terry. Then vacumm it out with the wet/dry vac. Then let dry as needed. Do the same for the rest of the carpet, right?

here is a picture sample of my carpet right now.

Yes, but after you scrub and vacuum it wouldn`t hurt to spray down with some clean water and vacuum that, also.

Cant waite to see the after pics of that carpet :D
